BRACKENBER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BRACKENBER sales from September 2001 and September 2012 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 2001 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, which was also at 50% above the HPI.

What might BRACKENBER be worth now?

BRACKENBER might now be worth an estimated £595,621.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.9%, between September 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRACKENBER of £400,000 on 27th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £595,621 over the thirteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRACKENBER has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRACKENBER has not materially changed since September 2012.
